                                Description:
                            Descent - Version 1.0
 "Descent is a heart-pounding, gun-wrenching, edge-of-your-seat experience."
"The sensation of speed is amazing, and the 3D, texture-mapped graphics make
                this game a genuine joy to behold." -PC Gamer

                         Descent immerses you in a
     full 3D environment with 6 degrees of freedom -- you truly have the
               experience of weightlessness and zero gravity!

You are a pilot who must rescue hostages and blow up the reactors of certain
 enemy mines. However, there are many, many robot drones out to destroy you
 before you destroy them. When the reactor blows, you have 45 seconds to get
  out of there before you go with it! You are given an arsenal of different
 weapons, such as the Vulcan chaingun-like gun. Also, you have finite energy
 and shield strength, both of which may be replenished in the course of the
 game. Descent boasts true height mapping and light sourcing -- the textures
and feel of the game are absolutely real. And the light effects are terrific
 -- try shooting a missile down a dark corridor and watch it light the walls
                               along its path.
             But I already play Doom. Why would I want Descent?
    Descent, unlike Doom, has a true 3-D environment with six degrees of
     freedom. This means you have three axes of motion and three axes of
  rotation. Descent also has 3D texture-mapped polygon enemies, and no flat
  enemy bitmaps like Doom has. Descent boasts unrestricted level design --
   it's not limited to 90 degree walls (like Wolfenstein) or 2-dimensional
                                  layouts.
                        Typical Street Price = $49.95
